In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year.

Spectrum Project Management lets you start with a customizable dashboard and drill down to the information you want to see. (Graphic: Business Wire).

According to John Chaney, president and co-founder, “Project management
is not one task performed in one location. It involves a continuous flow
of work, data and documents that move from place to place and person to
person. We’ve designed a complete system to help project managers handle
the work, the documents, the communication and the people that comprise
complex construction projects.”

Spectrum Project Management is cloud-based, requiring no software
downloads and accessible from any device with a web browser. “Just like
every other Spectrum application, Spectrum Project Management is 100
percent web-based,” Chaney said. “Users simply launch a web browser from
anywhere they’re working to access all of the features and functionality
of the software.”

What makes Spectrum Project Management unique is how it combines the
tools and information that project managers need into a single
application. "Project managers are at the center of a storm of data and
documents," said Mark Peltz, Dexter + Chaney product manager for
construction operations software. "Instead of using three, four, or more
applications to build a picture of project status, they can use Spectrum
Project Management to combine financial and field information, manage
people and documents, and track workflow from a single project log
screen that eliminates the need to maintain multiple logs."

Dexter + Chaney has been providing complete construction management
software for more than 30 years. From the office to the field, from
accounting to project management, Dexter + Chaney software is used by
more than 1,000 companies. Their clients come from all segments of the
industry—heavy/highway and utility, general contractors, electrical,
mechanical, and specialty subcontractors—and are companies of all sizes,
from locally owned subcontractors to some of the world’s largest
construction firms. Dexter + Chaney’s web-based software applications
allow customers to get work done anywhere using any device with a web
browser and without the need to download any software. For more
